Claudio Cioffi, director of the Center for Social Complexity and interim Vice President for Research, presented the new MASON NorthLands model of the northern Boreal and Arctic regions at the recent Climate and Human Security Symposium at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The goal of the workshop was to develop collaborative relationships across government, civil sector, academia, international partners, and non-government organizations that will identify fundamental geospatial data critical to enhancing our understanding of climate change
and its implications for society within a human geography framework. The symposium was sponsored by The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), in collaboration with the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) Members and the World Wide Human Geography Data (WWHGD) Working Group.

Dr. Claudio Cioffi’s new textbook, Introduction to Computational Social Science, is available from publisher Springer and from Amazon.

Dr. Claudio Cioffi, director, Center for Social Complexity, and Ates Hailegiorgis, pre-doctoral student, were featured presenters at the recent GSDI international conference held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  They presented the Omoland modeling program.
